  • Chicken Vegetable Soup – Dehydrated

    This recipe assumes you have already prepared chicken breast. See Chicken Breast and Thighs – Sous Vide. I cook several flats of chicken at a time and freeze it to use later. You could also grab an extra rotisserie chicken at a Sam’s or a Costco and pull the meat from the bone and freeze…

  • Breakfast Sausage Patties – Sous Vide

    I have used sous vide for bacon so I wondered if breakfast sausage would benefit from the same process. I found a Reddit post about sous vide sausage so I had to try it. This process makes the sausage very tender and removes a lot of the grease. After removing the sausage from the sous…

  • Poached Eggs

    INGREDIENTS: 32 oz water 1 Tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or clear) 1 egg INSTRUCTIONS: Bring the water and vinegar to boil in a medium sauce pan. Lower the heat to a simmer (small bubbles forming on the bottom). Break the egg into a screen filter and let the thinnest white pour through. Use a wooden…

  • Spaghetti Sauce – Randy’s Easy

    We made Dianne’s Lasagna and it was incredible. I really liked the sauce so I put the recipe here so I could make it in bulk, just add water and meat and mushrooms (optional), and heat. Each batch makes 60 ounces of sauce and can serve 6 or 7 hungry people. I got more than…

  • Chicken Salad – Horseradish

    This recipe is based on my Mayonnaise Horseradish recipe. It is even better when you sprinkle in some Chicken and Rib Rub. Ingredients: 5 cups cooked chicken breast (1 breast = approx. 1 cup) 1 cup finely chopped celery 1/4 large onion (finely chopped in a blender or spice grinder) 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise 1/4…

  • Horseradish Sauce – Mayonnaise Base

    We were in Fitzpatrick’s Bar in Doolin Ireland and the entire group was raving about the horseradish sauce. I asked the waitress for the recipe. She said, “It is Hellmann’s.” Thats when I realized I have been making this sauce wrong. My Sour Cream recipe is very good but it lacks the tartness of the…

  • Smoked Shredded Chicken Breast – Sous Vide

    It is hard to make smoked, shredded chicken breast without drying it out. This recipe ensures the chicken will have smoke throughout, will be cooked thoroughly, and will not be dry and tough. Start Sous Vide heating at 158 degrees. Coat chicken breasts in olive oil. Lay the chicken breasts out on a cake rack…

  • Parmesan Crisps

    I tried several methods for making parmesan crisps. I have had many failures. Here’s what I think I know about making parmesan crisps: Never add anything (flour, etc.) to the grated parmesan. Anything you add to the cheese will make the texture firmer and less crunchy. Never use pre-grated parmesan because it has additives. Grate…
